Abstract in German Für die Verbreitung in Ausser-Schartauschen Kreisen war es von Bedeutung, dass Roos von Anfang an nicht nur als der von Henric Schartau geförderte Verfasser von Andachtsbüchern bekannt wurde, sondern dass er schon vor Schartau als Autor von biblischen Einführungen und sogenannten Gesprächsbüchern bekannt war und respektiert wurde. Für die Wertschätzung seiner Meinung und seiner
Apyrase treatment of myocardial infarction according to a clinically applicable protocol fails to reduce myocardial injury in a porcine model
Background: Ectonucleotidase dependent adenosine generation has been implicated in preconditioning related cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion injury, and treatment with a soluble ectonucleotidase has been shown to reduce myocardial infarct size (IS) when applied prior to induction of ischemia. However, ectonucleotidase treatment according to a clinically applicable protocol, with admini
Hydrogen Production for Refuelling Applications
Since 2007, Intelligent Energy (IE) has been involved in developing technologies and services in the hydrogen generation space with E.ON Gas Sverige AB and Swedish Gas Centre. The aim of this work is to support the development of a high-profile demonstration of hydrogen generation technologies in a Swedish context. The overall objective of the demonstration is to deploy a reforming based hydrogen
Ultra-Wide-Band Propagation Channels
Understanding ultra-wide-band (UWB) propagation channels is a prerequisite for UWB system design as well as communication-theoretic and information-theoretic investigations. This paper surveys the fundamental properties of UWB channels, pointing out the differences to conventional channels. if the relative bandwidth is large, the propagation processes, and therefore path loss and shadowing, become
Evaluation of macroporous blood and plasma scaffolds for skeletal muscle tissue engineering
The field of tissue engineering has a growing need for suitable scaffold materials to become attractive as a clinical therapy. To use a completely autologous construct to repair a damaged or diseased tissue is an appealing thought. As a model system, two types of scaffolds were prepared from biological fluids: blood and plasma. The prepared scaffolds formed a macroporous structure with elastic mec
When is Thrombolysis for Acute Lower Limb Ischemia Worthwhile?
Objectives: To find variables associated with outcome following thrombolytic treatment for acute lower limb ischemia. Design: Re-analysis of a prospective multicentre study. Material and methods: One hundred and twenty-one patients with acute lower limb ischemia previously included in a randomised study comparing high- with low-dose thrombolysis were re-analysed ignoring the mode of lytic treatmen

Pay Differentials and Gender-Based Promotion Discrimination in a Dual Labour Market
Abstract Historical studies indicate that determinants of the gender wage gap have varied through history. This paper suggests that employment discrimination dominated over wage discrimination in clerical work in Sweden in the mid-1930s. Women were largely excluded from career paths in the offices. This is explained within an analytical framework, in which segmented labour market theory, notably c

The Measures of Criminal Attitudes and Associates (MCAA): Further testing of structural and criterion-related validity
The validity of a Swedish translation of the Measures of Criminal Attitudes and Associates (MCAA) was evaluated. All four subscales showed acceptable reliability, but the Entitlement scale can be improved by replacing items with low loadings. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a model with one common criminal attitude factor and three subfactors (corresponding to subscales of the test). The An
Evolution of DC-SIGN use revealed by fitness studies of R5 HIV-I variants emerging during AIDS progression
Background: At early stages of infection CCR5 is the predominant HIV-1 coreceptor, but in approximately 50% of those infected CXCR4-using viruses emerge with disease progression. This coreceptor switch is correlated with an accelerated progression. However, those that maintain virus exclusively restricted to CCR5 (R5) also develop AIDS. We have previously reported that R5 variants in these "non-sw
Transcriptional Down-Regulation of Thromboxane A(2) Receptor Expression via Activation of MAPK ERK1/2, p38/NF-kappa B Pathways
Background: We have developed an in vitro model by organ culture of rat mesenteric arteries to imitate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) receptor changes in cardiovascular disease. By using this model, alteration of VSMC thromboxane A(2) (TP) receptors was studied. Methods and Results: After organ culture of the arteries, VSMC TP receptors were studied by using myography, real-time PCR and immuno
Carotid stenosis: aspects on progression, stabilization and follow-up
Popular Abstract in Italian Con il termine aterosclerosi si usa generalmente definire uno stato di infiammazione cronica che risulta nella riduzione di elasticita´ delle pareti dei vasi arteriori di medio e grande diametro. La lesione caratteristica dell´aterosclerosi e´ l´ateroma, o placca aterosclerotica, ossia un´ispessimento dello strato piu´ interno delle arterie. Le placche cominciano a formCardiovascular (CV) atherosclerotic diseases are the leading cause of death in Western nations. The presence of a carotid plaque, the degree of carotid stenosis as well as the rate of progression of carotid disease has been shown to be independent predictive factors for future ischemic events. The aim of this thesis was to detect clinical, sonographic and serologic patterns that could aid in ident
Evaluation of using grey water as an alternative irrigation source in Jordan
One option for coping with wasteful uses of fresh water in landscape irrigation is to use the treated greywater(GW). In the present study, an evaluation of a simple treatment system for reusing GW to irrigate green areas,trees, and ornamentals all over the campus in Tafila Technical University (TTU), Jordan, is presented. After 12 months of using the treatment system, the necessity for using fresh
Is it possible to predict the outcome of an anterior cruciate ligament injury?
This thesis centers on a well-studied cohort of 100 patients, which received a treatment regimen of initial rehabilitation and activity modification to cope with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury. The data, collected prospectively and longitudinally, cover a span of 15 years after initial injury. The overall aim of this thesis is to describe the course of an ACL injury treated with rehabilit
Inclusive measurement of diffractive deep-inelastic scattering at HERA
The diffractive process ep -> eXY, where Y denotes a proton or its low mass excitation with M-Y < 1.6 GeV, is studied with the H1 experiment at HERA. The analysis is restricted to the phase space region of the photon virtuality 3
High order splitting methods for analytic semigroups exist
In this paper, we are concerned with the construction and analysis of high order exponential splitting methods for the time integration of abstract evolution equations which are evolved by analytic semigroups. We derive a new class of splitting methods of orders three to fourteen based on complex coefficients. An optimal convergence analysis is presented for the methods when applied to equations o
Radiation treatment monitoring using multimodal functional imaging: PET/CT ((18)F-Fluoromisonidazole & (18)F-Fluorocholine) and DCE-US.
This study aims to assess the effect of radiation treatment on the tumour vasculature and its downstream effects on hypoxia and choline metabolism using a multimodal approach in the murine prostate tumour model CWR22. Functional parameters derived from Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computer Tomography (CT) with (18)F-Fluoromisonidazole ((18)F-FMISO) and (18)F-Fluorocholine ((18)F-FCH) as well
Small non-coding RNAs in cancer
The complex genetics of cancer, which allows tumours to grow and spread while bypassing the control circuitry of the cell, involves dysregulation of the genome, transcriptome and proteome. The importance of protein-coding genes such as growth factors and hormone receptors is well established. Recently, non-coding RNAs have emerged as important players in tumour development with potential to be exp
